Lo Naveena

On hearing that Dodda Tayamma is coming to cook food...

... the hyacinth beans were dancing in the room

On knowing the hyacinth beans dancing...

... the brinjals at the door were peeping inside

On hearing that Dodda Tayamma is coming to cook food...

... the tamarind bunches on the short tree were swaying

Hearing the swaying of tamarind bunches on the short tree...

... the amaranth leaves in the garden were rejoicing

Oh hearing about ridge gourd peeping from the back yard...

... onion and garlic were getting smashed in the mortar

On hearing the sound of chillies being ground on the stone...

... the ragi balls in the pot were rolling over

He gets up early in the morning and prays to the photo of the God

Mixes the left over ragi balls in butter milk and gulps it

He gets up early in the morning and prays to the photo of the God

Mixes the left over ragi balls in butter milk and gulps it

... dresses up immaculately & roams in the town...

... dresses up immaculately & roams in the town...

... he is our Naveena

Hey, you idiot, get lost...

... I myself have to slog though I have a grown up son...

... where the hell have you gone? Lo Naveena...Lo Naveena...

Take it, Serve with Smile

Give it to him

Hey, be careful

No Need, i already had

He has no siblings...

He is the only son...

... he owns 3 acres of wet land, a house with 16 pillars...

... plus a tractor and a manure shop

Besides owning all these...

... he is also into lending finance and leading the life like a king

I am ok with this alliance...

Let me have a word with my daughter

What are you talking?

You don't seem to know the likes of your daughter?

At the sight of the boy, she has gone in full of shy

The boy and the girl have to live together...

... let them talk to each other - Hm... you are right

Hm... Ninganna, go ahead

Who is it?

Oh...

...I was wondering that I have seen this face earlier

Lakshmi

20 years ago you were behind me to marry me!

... now you have come to marry my daughter? You loafer

... I will give you nicely

You unsold old donkey

Hey, leave me... look at her

Hey, why are you behaving like this?

Are you not ashamed of interfering?

You brought this aged person and got him insulted

Don't you feel sorry for Ninganna?

Hey... - Hm?

What is my fault in this? - Hm...

I accompanied him just to get snacks and tea

Had I dreamt of such happenings? - Hm...

Is it my sin of being handsome? - Oh... handsome!?

Hey Ninganna... - Hm...

Are you not ashamed?

Having gone to see the girl, got beaten up by broom!?

Oh, Mankrappa - Oh?

... taking him to see the girl is fine...

but, couldn't you take him to the right place

You and your monkey face

Gone to dogs

He paid you 200 rupees, tuck the shirt...

... spray scent on your body, & take you to see the girls?

Mankrappa, you have brought him and got insulted?

Ninganna, from now I will show you mothers' photos first ...

If none of them have seen you, then I will show you girl's photo

Is that fine with you?

You could have done it earlier

The hair on his head have fallen and have become grey ...

... why should he get married?

Hey Ninganna...

... What is the point of oiling bald head, and getting married at old age?

... that's how people laugh at you

Get us the marriage feast meal first, you fool

Ninganna... Oh Ninganna... Ninganna... Oh Ninganna...

Does the bald head need oil Why have food when it is too late?

Ninganna, people laugh at you for getting married at this old age

Ninganna... Oh Ninganna

Others of your age are married and have their children too...

... Ninganna, you have been watching them playing with kids

Both Dhanurmasa & Ashada are over and Deepavali has started

... marry any girl short or tall, lean or fat, fair or dark...

Bathe in hot water and spend couple of nights in the warmth of your wife...

... that's what the life is all about, Ninganna

When are you getting married, Ninganna?

When are you having your first night, Ninganna?

When will your children call you Daddy, Ninganna?

Tell us...Tell us ... Ninganna ... Ninganna...

Tell us, Linganna... Tell us Linganna

Hey... hey... Ninganna

Talk to a good marriage broker He will get you married soon

Hm...

Not 1, 2 or 3...he has seen more than 300 girls so far

Listen, I will narrate the story

He has exhausted all his money to this broker...

By roaming around the streets, his slippers are worn out

The clothes have worn out due to frequent pressing

There is no place, street or house that he has not visited...

... and there is no girl that he has not seen

Hey kid, people from the groom side are coming

Oh, please come in

They are made to sit in the house... shown the girl...

... made to eat banana and biscuits...

... after they leave

(Chorus Oh...

What does the groom do?

Is he having government job? - What is the salary?

Has he got house of his own?

No one can stop the alliance if they are destined so

I will get back to you

We will get back to you - We will get back to you

If dad agrees, mom doesn't, if mom agrees, dad doesn't...

... if both of them agree, the girl will not agree...

... if the girl agrees, relatives don't, What does this poor guy do?!

What else can he do?

Oh!... Ninganna... Ninganna...

Clad in silk saree, wearing the traditional bangles...

...wearing the bracelet on the wrist, decked up with jasmine flowers...

... the girl of your choice is waiting for you somewhere

Don't break your head, Ninganna

Hey Ninganna... ... Ninganna... Ninganna...

People talk so much, but have they shown any girl for me?

There was a time a marriage was built on 1000 lies

But now, 1000 marriages are broken with a single lie

Let's move

It's already noon...

... instead of grazing the cattle, you are smoking beedi

And your son is loitering around the town

Oh... Why are you screaming like this? Shut up

As is the father, so is the son

Where the hell he has disappeared?

Hey dear...

Tell me what you want? - Please get me betel leaf & nut

Ok, give me.

Where had you gone since morning?

What was this old lady saying?

She asked me to get her betel leaf and nuts

You seem to have set out for free food somewhere?

Is it a veg or non veg feast? - Hey...

... today is Monday and no one will prepare non veg

Going to your uncle's house

Take that bag, let's go, it's getting late - Oh...

Going to uncle's house!? - Yes, let's leave

Give me a minute, I will be right back

Hey... - Hey...

Oh! How come you are bathing in cold water today?

Oh... oh...

However much you rub, you can't beautify your ass, come soon

I will inform you ... I will call you myself

Hey, why are you so late? - Hm...

... I got to make him ready, so late - What? To make him ready!?

Oh, do you have to make him ready and bring him?

You made him wear under garments too? - Ask him if he is wearing or not

Aren't you mature enough still? - Sister in law...

Shantha, did you come just now?

Come, you could have come earlier

- Are you going to the fields to work, or you are loitering with your friends?

I have been asked to come from Monday, I will go uncle

Hm... I have come across many such lazy guys... come inside

Coffee for you? - No I already had while coming

This is your house too, have coffee

Asha, get some hot coffee for your aunty

Also, please get me also some coffee - Ok dad, I am getting it

What is the hurry for her marriage now?

Chikkralli Shankar, whenever I meet him...

... has been wanting to see my daughter for his son

I had asked him to come home and see her

Aunty, how are you? - I am good, how are you?

Naveena, are you doing good? - Hm

Have coffee - No

It's ok, have it - Hm

Come to the backyard, I want to talk to you, come on

Asha has been studying well... you could let her pursue her studies

See how she has grown up

Same way, you married me off to that lazy guy at an early age ....

... and now I am suffering

Hey, forget the past stories, Shantha

I also enquired about them...

... their's is a good and reputed family, only son...

... they are very affluent

... they have 2/3 tractors, jaggery factory and a well built big house

So why wait, we can marry her off

Naveena, you were coming more frequently...

...why are you not coming these days?

I would have come, had you called - I didn't have phone with me

Hm... there is only one phone, which is dad's. How can I call you?

Whenever I come, your dad irritates me

So, I don't feel like coming. Ok, tell me why you called me

Naveena, you know what? - What?

My dad is looking alliance for me

It seems you have agreed too

Oh, how do I tell you? No one asks for my consent

I am not interested in this marriage

Hm...!?

Really? - Hm
